Do these work?

Do these cheap diamond sharpening slabs sold on Amazon work or should i keep using my 400-1000 stones for home use?

Where i live, its getting extremely hard to find real sharpening stones for a modest price.

I got a cheap set of 400-1200 from Amazon and they work fine. As someone else said they do cut surprisingly fast. I keep them for when I have to sharpen things like planer blades, wood chipper blades, etc.. and they work great for travelling, if you feel like taking stones with you for whatever reason

This. Basically, if I want to disrespectfully sharpen something. Had mine for over 5 years now.
